Abstract

This work was developed with students of 4th year of basic education school Monsignor Azevedo , where these are from the island of Combu. It is specifically didactic interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary character practices, whose claim was to rescue the local culture through tales of oral tradition as well as mobilizing reflexive attitudes about environmental context relating one of the most prominent problems in the medium environment that is lack of water in certain locations. The proposal led us to find several theoretical studies as it relates to the primitive people lived before the Portuguese colonization, amid their beliefs, myths and stories told as well, in studies related to the environment and water resources. It should be noted immersion in field with conversations wheels with the parents of the students to understand the oral narratives that children bring about their local culture in the activities. So the proposal has enabled us to understand that traditional knowledge empower the process of scientific literacy in the various areas of knowledge.
